    At this point, the Wuhuan rebellion ended. Hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan soldiers and civilians died during this period. The bravery of the Wei soldiers was deeply engraved in the hearts of every Wuhuan person.  The most special one among them is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. From then on, whenever the people of Wuhuan heard the name of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they would all avoid it like a frightened bird.

    Cao Pi pacified Wuhuan and quickly sent people to report back to Luoyang.  Let's talk about Cao Cao ending the war in Xiangyang and hearing that his eldest son Cao Zhang was shot and killed by the Wuhuan leader Tadun Shanyu. Then Cao Pi and Cao Chun worked together to defeat the Wuhuan rebels and killed Tadun Shanyu to avenge Cao Zhang.  He sent his troops into the realm of Pingzhou and defeated dozens of Wuhuan tribes.  Wuhuan was finally unable to resist, and all tribes surrendered one after another.

    After Cao Cao saw it, he was not happy at all. He was furious and cried to the ground.  All the ministers rushed to rescue him.  Cao Cao was nearly sixty years old, but he lost his son in old age. The most miserable thing in life was for a man with white hair to give a man with black hair.

    Cao Cao woke up after a while and helped him into the inner hall.  Xun Yu hurriedly advised.

    "My condolences, Your Majesty. Since ancient times, life and death have their destiny. The prince was shot and killed by evil thieves to protect his second son. His benevolence and righteousness will surely become a good story. It is a pity that the prince's life is not blessed. It is said that people cannot be resurrected after death, but this is the end of the matter.  , Your Majesty, you should take good care of your body, the Han Dynasty cannot live without King Wei!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he burst into tears and screamed miserably.

    "Zixiu is Gu's eldest son. This son is kind and simple-minded, but he is not as alert as Gu and knows the dangers of people's hearts. If there is peace and prosperity, this son will definitely become a wise king. It is a pity that Zixiu was born at the wrong time and was born in this troubled world.  Gu Gu hopes to eradicate the chaos and pacify the world in his lifetime, and then hand over the foundation to Zi Xiu's hands. Then the Han people will surely usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. Unfortunately, Gu Gu has not yet been able to complete his great cause.  Xiu Yi first died and left alone!"

    "Cao Cao was wailing with his chest pounding. This unparalleled traitor who shocked the world and intimidated all heroes was now like a helpless and miserable old man with frosty white."  All the civil and military officials in Cao Wei were moved by this.  Suddenly, Mrs. Bian was heard wailing in the back hall. Her heart-piercing cries made Cao Cao rush to his head in grief, screamed, and cried to the ground again.  The officials were frightened and panicked, and quickly ordered the doctor to come and sober up.

    In the days that followed, Cao Cao cried three or five times a day, and for three days he couldn't get enough water. He just cried bitterly, and his clothes were wet with tears, and the spots turned into blood.  Xun Yu and other officials tried to persuade him again and again.  One day, Cao Cao was filled with hatred and shouted sternly.

    "Gu and Wuhuan swear to be different from the sun and the moon! Gu must annihilate all his clan before he can vent his great hatred!!!"

    When Xun Yu heard this, his expression changed, and he knelt down quickly to play.

    "Your Majesty, please calm down. Wuhuan has been conquered by the Second Young Master and General Cao, and half of its territory has been destroyed. Moreover, Wuhuan has surrendered. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed in the battle, and their vitality has been severely damaged. Within a hundred years, they will no longer be able to rebel.  . Why do you need to raise troops to attack again and waste your money?"

    "The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable. If we don't wipe out all the Wuhuan people, it will be difficult to vent Gu's great hatred!! Gu Jin will raise troops to question the crime and express his hatred!!"

    Cao Cao's eyes were red, filled with overwhelming hatred. When Xun Yu saw this, his heart tightened, and he quickly admonished him again.

    "Absolutely not. The war in Xiangyang has just ended, and the two states of Xu and Yan have been pacified not long ago. There have also been changes in Xichuan. Liu Jiyu was killed by the northwest general Zhao Zilong. Liu Xuande has gained the power of Xichuan. Zhuge Liang will surely lead his troops to attack soon.  Advance to Xichuan to stabilize the situation in Xichuan. In recent years, the king shot Sun Bofu and developed a hatred for Soochow. Now that the situation is unstable and Wuhuan has surrendered, there is no need to fight again.  I hope your Majesty will take notice!¡±

    When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly darkened.  In the main hall, all the counselors secretly looked at each other. Although they knew that Xun Yu's words were true, they did not dare to agree with him outright.  Cao Cao stared at Xun Yu, but Xun Yu lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. The atmosphere in the palace was dead silent.  After a while, Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth and said.

    "If I follow Wenruo's advice, what should I do?"

    "Your Majesty, it is best to hold the troops still so that the soldiers can rest, recharge and recuperate, and at the same time mourn the death of the prince. Although Soochow has a blood feud with Cao Wei, but its master died, Soochow was in chaos, and people were panicked. There is no threat for the time being. And Zhuge Liang  If we want to send troops to Xichuan, we will inevitably have a fierce battle with Wen Bufan. When both of them are defeated, the king will take advantage of the opportunity to attack him. "

    When Cao Cao heard this, his red eyes, originally full of hatred, gradually became clear, and then he slowly closed them without saying a word.  Liu Ye and Cheng Yu looked at each other and came to persuade them.  Later, Jia Xu, Xun You and other advisers also came to give advice again and again.  Cao Cao had just stopped his anger and sent a decree that all officials in the court, big and small, should pay filial piety.  When Cao Pi and Cao Chun returned with Cao Ang's body, Cao Cao led all the officials of the court to pay tribute to Cao Ang's soul at the south gate of Luoyang. After Cao Ang's coffin was buried, all the officials cried together, and the cries shook the entire city of Luoyang for ten miles.

    Cao Cao lost his son in his old age, and the traitor who had made the world famous also suffered one of the greatest sorrows in his life.  Although an heir to Cao Wei died, Cao Cao still had heirs who could succeed him.?Cao Wei was not in danger of a landslide.  Compared to Soochow, Sun Ce was in danger of losing his life.

    A few months ago, the funeral report sent by Zhou Yu was sent back to Wu Hui.  When the officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty heard this, they were all shocked and turned pale, as if they had lost their souls.  Wu Guotai hurriedly summoned Zhang Zhao and other important officials of Soochow to temporarily stabilize the situation.  At the same time, Wu Guotai secretly gave Zhang Zhao instructions.

    "Unfortunately, Bo Fu lost his life, but he seemed to have known this day beforehand, so he had a talk with me. If he had any chance, he should rely on Zi Bu for internal affairs in Soochow. Now in the world, each of the four heroes dominates his own side.  , I have divided the territory of Dongwu and Jiangdong, and with the strength of Wu and Yue, we can do a lot. I hope that Zibu will do his best to assist my Sun family."

    After Zhang Zhao heard this, he knelt on the ground, wept and bowed and retreated.  Zhang Zhao received Wu Guotai's order to stabilize the internal situation first, so that the officials in Soochow could calm down. They were also afraid that Soochow would have no master, so they came together with Zhang Zhao to see Wu Guotai.

    When the ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty entered the palace, they heard bursts of heart-rending cries. When they asked the attendants, they found out that Sun Quan had been crying all day long. He had cried countless times and was in a state of uncertainty.  Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

    "Although Zhongmou is insane, he still understands the pain of mourning, which shows the deep brotherhood between him and his lord!"

    Before Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Wu Guotai came out of the back hall, and all the ministers knelt down and paid homage.  Zhang Zhao spoke up.

    "It is said that a country cannot be left without a master for a day. Now that the master has passed away, we should quickly select a candidate to take over Soochow."

    When Wu Guotai heard this, he seemed to have expected it, and said in a serious voice.

    "Bo Fu once said in the past that if we take the people of Jiangdong to decide between the two formations and compete with the world, Zhongmou will not be as good as him. If we recruit the talented and capable people and make everyone try their best to protect Jiangdong, they will not be as good as Zhongmou.  I am willing to let Zhongmou take over Soochow, and I hope that you will help me with my sincerity in the face of difficulties in starting a business."

    As soon as Wu Guotai finished speaking, Zhang Zhao and other officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty all changed their expressions, and their eyes were full of horror.  Zhang Zhao hurriedly knelt down and remonstrated.

    "If Zhongmou is sane, he would be an excellent candidate. But Zhongmou is still mad at the time. How can he lead the great cause of Soochow? I hope Guotai will think twice!!!"

    After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty also agreed one after another.  Wu Guotai's expression condensed, and he suddenly told an earth-shattering news.

    "If that's the case, you don't have to worry. The death of Bo Fu made Zhongmou extremely sad. He cried for three days until he died of crying. The old man sent a doctor to treat me the day before. Fortunately, God bless me in Soochow, and the doctor told me,  Zhongmou was moved by grief, but it was a blessing in disguise that he regained his sanity. When Zhongmou woke up today, he looked like a normal person, but he had not yet recovered from his brother's death.  Let him have some time, and I will let him pay homage to the princes one by one."

    Zhang Zhaohao stared with an incredulous look on his face, then quickly calmed his mind, thought for a while, and bowed again.

    "If this is the case, it will be a great blessing for me in Soochow!"

    At this moment, the expression of Sun Jing, the prefect of Kuaiji, changed, a gloomy and vicious look flashed across his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice.

    "Wait a minute! I'm afraid Zhongmou is too young to be able to handle big things, so what should I do?!"

    As soon as Sun Jing said this, all the officials in Soochow couldn't help but look at him. Seeing that it was Sun Jing who spoke, many people showed a bit of worry.  Wu Guotai turned his eyes and saw that it was Sun Jing.  Sun Jing was the younger brother of Sun Jian and the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He was very famous in Soochow. Now that Sun Ce was dead, Sun Jing was opposed to Sun Quan taking over the throne. It is self-evident how he felt.

    Wu Guotai's eyes instantly shot out two gleams of light, his face was cold, he looked at Sun Jing coldly, and shouted sternly.

    "Bo Fu once said that his younger brother is ten times more talented than him, which is enough for a big task. What's more, he also has a promise. If internal affairs are not decided, you can ask Zhang Zhao, and if foreign affairs are not decided, you can ask Zhou Yu. These two people complement each other.  , Zhongmou will be able to lead Soochow without fail!"

    Sun Jing¡¯s eyes were gloomy, she smiled coldly, and said in a sinister manner.

    "My sister-in-law's one-sided words are hard to believe!"

    ¡°Unbridled!!!¡±

    Before Sun Jing could finish his words, Wu Guotai shouted loudly. At the same time, he angrily took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and showed it to all the ministers.

    "This is the will that Bo Fu made long ago to prevent today's chaos. If you don't believe it, Sun Youtai, you can see it with your own eyes!!!"

    Sun Jing¡¯s face changed drastically after hearing this, and Wu Guotai ordered his followers to hand over the will.  Sun Jing caught it and hurriedly opened it to read. The document turned out to be Sun Ce's handwriting.

    The last line reads even more so.  If I am really unfortunate enough to lose my life and my destiny has been exhausted, you all should forgive me for the difficulty of starting a business in Soochow for two generations, and do your best and assist Zhongmou.  If there is anyone in the clan who dares to have a different intention, everyone will punish him together. His flesh and blood will be treasonous, and he will not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave!  !

    When Sun Jing saw him, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning and became sluggish.  Wu Guotai secretly cast a look at Sun Kuang, and Sun Kuang was heartbroken.After understanding it, he grabbed the document, looked at it quickly, got angry, pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted.

    "My brother has a will here. If there is a disobedient and disobedient person in the clan, everyone will be killed together and they will not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave!!!"

    Sun Kuang's voice sounded like thunder, and Sun Jing felt like she was struck by lightning. She quickly knelt down on the ground, not even daring to speak.  All officials in the Eastern Wu Dynasty read Sun Ce's will one after another.  After a while, Zhang Zhaolao sighed with tears streaming down his face.
